Good job on the Blogs... I once had a blog, which I used to post all my flight training experiences in - from Private to CFI. I also extended it to my first year experiences as a CFI as well. I think that starting a maintaining a blog while training is a great way to help keep you mentally sharp, as you have to replay training events and ground lessons in your mind as you type them out. It also helps you work out problems and find solutions on your own and at your own pace.
